Some Images From Transformers 3 Filming In Florida

Remember how Transformers 3 (Transformers: The Dark Of The Moon) Images arrived from the Windy City; Chicago? Time to post some pics from Florida with love.

InfernoX of TFW2005 Discussion Boards shared with us some up-close images of the Autobots present somewhere in Florida. The images include Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Ferrari 458 Italia, Mercedes Benz E550, Ironhide, Ratchet, The Wreckers and The Twins.

We've also added some Images from Orlando Sentinel. Images show a glimpse of the Launchpad 39B as helicopters fly in formation at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Filming is scheduled to continue through this week.

Update: NASA informed us that as a way of saying "Thank You!", Transformers 3 Vehicles will be outside the KSC Visitor Complex on Friday for Employee Photo Opportunity.

You know what I just realized. All the legacy car characters (characters who appeared in the first two films that is) all have spoilers. I wonder if there is a plot point to that. Like a badge of honor or something.

Awesome Pics

OMGosh, there's a Honda between the Twins in one picture! it must be a new AUTOBOOOOOOOT!!!!!

shibamura_prime

Tums...

Rodimus Primal

Nice!! So is it confirmed or not if the Nascar cars are Autobots?

Trailbreaker77

Awesome pictures! God the new stripes on Bumble Bee look terrible.

InfernoX

Two more, I don't have a good shot of Bee's stripes, but you can see it a little here.

They make sense in terms of the front, being on either side of the hood bump-thing (not a big car guy :-P). But yeah, from the back, they look weird.

Also, Ironhide is the only legacy Autobot who hasn't received some sort of update. Interesting...

since that's were all the others that have turned up so far have been added

MenasorMaster

holy shit, thats a long trailer. but wait, why dont we saw trhe twins ans ironhdie in chicago ?? Didnt someone ( i think bay ) said that the scene in chicago is the final one of the movie, so maybe ironhide and the twins get killed off

whats reaylly inresting is the fact that optimus have a trailer in the whole movie, so i think it must be pretty important and may is a component of his robot mode, would make sense because that tanker truck who is likley megatron also have a trailer.

exclusacon

I know they shoot some movies in pieces...everybody there except for ratchet...I wonder if this is the beginning or somewhere in the middle, ....the twins are to died, say bay,

Pretty sure most movie scenes aren't just shot in order of how they happen in the movie

Looking at the those Wreckers I was thinking at first they look pretty awesome but then I thought damn all those companies must have paid for the product placement or have some kind of deal with the production company

I think it's also a good move on Hasbro's part to make the twins use the same car since they didn't sell horribly well and even if they did it's only one mold for 2 main characters.

Loving all the body kits and upgrades most of the bots seem to have. Also loving all the cars in this movie. That's gonna make it hard for me to pass most of them up at retail

trex5000

LOVIN' Skids and Mudflap's alt modes..

Optimus Prime

My only complaint is that roofless Sideswipe just looks weird. Other than that, everyone looks great, and that first pic of Prime with his trailer is going to be made into a desktop wallpaper!

since that's were all the others that have turned up so far have been added

Sorry, I didn't know it existed.

exclusacon

This is the beginning now....

bellpeppers

Man, Prime's trailer is big!

And so much for the "No Twins" thing.

Rodimus Mike

I hope that we get some awesome figures of all of these TF's,Prime is beyond sweet with
his trailer.I also think with all the autobots in this movie it will be a bloodbath (scuse me,
oilbath).Give Me TF3 Bay.

wolfe

Nice pics. Will be interesting to see how Tak/Hasbro handle the trailer.

jetfire prime

i remember way back when stealth force was announced, hasbro said that they were adopting the idea for TF3. i can totally see it the design of the wreckers

prime326

Those are badass pics. Man would I love to see them in person.

rodsprime

why do i have a feeling the the ferrari is sunstreaker? idk its jsut a thought, although i hope its rodimus, but ohhh my god man youre insane for these pics this amde my day bro!

just like when Bay said for ROTF: "there is no Megatron"

Shin Densetsu

I dig that the front of the trailer has a part that resembles G2 Prime's electronics box. Heh..being that movie Prime reminds me of Laser Rod Prime(alt mode and sword)....I DIG THIS!

Omnius

The blue pickup in the 4th pic looks a lot like that alt mode suggested for Soundwave in the concept art we saw a couple of years back.

Invader

Looks like the beginnig of TF3. Hope, we see a fight between the Autobots and Decepticons before this scene. But it is the perfect place to see THE ARK or maybe this "SHIP"... and Laserbeak, who is watching what the Autobots are doing. You know, Soundwave is waiting for a Report. And Silverbolt, because the Aerialbots are waiting somewhere for the right moment. And a... but I am

Lazerwave

Now I really want to know the names of al these Autobots.

Tux Chaos X

Wrecker 88 gives me a Wheeljack vibe from the color scheme alone. I don't know if the name was confirmed or denied for the movie yet, though.

Seconded; is this an actual production model? It looks as if the roof and some parts of the windows were sliced clean off o_O

Omnius

That is, indeed, for real. It really does look like half a car.

Ironhide have all-red tail lights now instead of the red, orange, white ones he had in ROTF and TF1

yep, seems that they love his Alt-Mode as it always has been since TF. he's only upgrades are in Robot-Mode & also make a lot of sense character-wise in the Bayverse as well.

Starscream NZ

Well this can dispel any rumours that Ultra Magnus was that armoured tanker-truck and was leader of the Wreckers. If he was he'd be here since every other Autobot is (bar Wheelie)

Rodimus Primal

I can only hope this movie is long enough to give our bots the proper screen time they didn't get in ROTF. I really want to know who the new bots are.

Heh, the Wreckers give me a Powered-up Autobot Brothers vibe, again from the colors.

oh dang, its like a family reunion...the whole gang is here to party

I dunno, as much as I'd LOve that, the truck seems to be a Ford, I wanna say F350, not quite sure about the #. Anyway I think Bay has a deal with GM, not Ford.

Defenestrator

All these autobots, makes me wonder what the hell are the cons gna have? suburbans and alice soccer moms?

jamjam101

ohh crud. the Twins are there. Maybe they get blast off to the dark side of the moon, where we never hear from them again

i get the sense most are going to be CGI only...

Smokescreen

Those are some really great pics. Prime's trailer looks awesome!

Opticron Primal

So Prime's trailer isn't a Chicago one-off huh? That's really nice to see. Guess it's gonna be a mobile NEST hub as speculated. Would make a lot of sense.

UltraMagnus2008

wow the wreckers are crap from a design stand point...how many exhaust vents we looking at? at least 16 on the first car and a jet turbine Ridiculous but bay tastic!

Spoiler

All this concern about Ironhide's fate, maybe he is just CGI in Chicago, who knows. As far as him not getting upgraded, doesn't help that the Topkick is pretty much done. That is probably what it all boils down to, as the movies go on, and the vehicles change, so does their upgrades for the movie. All Ratchet has been seeing is some different paint, however, I doubt we would see a paint upgrade on Ironhide.

I am still not happy with Sideswipes convertible upgrade, and the spoiler just doesn't work for that car design. Bumbleebee's at least works because the trunk is flatter, and has more room for it, while Sideswipes doesn't even make sense.

Yeah, I see it now (having looked them up as I'm not incredibly familiar with RiD XD. I'm also getting a bit of Smokescreen, or at least his Alternators form, from the blue one.
